What other learners are saying

★★★★★ "I've been using Memrise for about two years, studying European Portuguese. I have the paid version - it's a solid learning tool, and it has been my primary resource ever since got it. I find the Learn with Locals feature to be especially useful, more so as my Portuguese improves. My wife and I spent a couple of weeks in Portugal a few months ago, and we were able to handle all of our transactions - stores, restaurants, markets, car rental, etc!" -Voloúre

User reviews
The new memrise Buddies are great. I love that I can ask any question I want about the languages I'm learning and can get answers easily without having to tirelessly search online. And I can have it quiz me on specific things I'm having trouble with. It's not perfect, though, because sometimes it assumes a more advanced level than I am, but the good thing is I can tell it to adjust and it will. The other small errors I've encountered have been adjustable so far.

It was a great app but it's updated version at some instances is confusing and lacks the devision by levels it had before and some other necessary features. It is not as through as it was before and complete sentences for more difficult levels are a must as well as learning with native speakers the words, phrases and sentences in the level. Please if possible change memorize to the original version. Thank you. I just noticed that you added new languages. Thank you. I'm getting used to new layout

I'm extremely happy with this app!! I love the way it's designed and to the lessons have lots of variety. You aren't drilled or forced to memorize repetitive words but learn useful sentences and connect the dots on your own. My only complaint is the pronunciation part- it's really tough for some reason. Edit - I made payments for a long time and recently haven't been able to afford many apps. thank you so much for letting much of the app be free 💜
